Pocket size. AA or AAA batteries. LED type white light.

I keep a mini maglite with me all the time. I've recently changed the head to an LED one. Perfect.

Cheap LED headtorch. No messing about holding it between your teeth if you need both hands

Yes a Petzl head torch, look after it and it'll last year's

As a chimney sweep I have a vast array of LED torches, all recommended by my mate who's also a chimney sweep, whose hobby is torch collecting and testing. At the moment, the best budget torch for your money that gives and unbelievable beam at 5000 lumens is a Sky Ray King http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skyray-King-3 ... 337f87f772

But, it doesn't take AA or AAA batteries, so what you need is an Ultrafire Cree XML http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1800Lumen-CRE ... 46096ef032

1800 Lumens, takes 3 AAA batteries or 18650 battery

How come the sky ray king is shown with AA batteries?

They're 18650 batteries that look similar to AA, but twice the size

Cheers...and £40. Ouch. I might try the other one.
Need one for work. They supply us with one, but it's mahooosive.

LED Lenser

I use the P7 now, knocks spots off my old mini maglite

I use a Petzl Tikka head torch, I have had it for 10 years and has never let me down.
It did cost me about £28 back then.
Light waterproof and bright on the high setting.

Continuos.
7 hrs on High
40 hrs low
200 hrs flashing

It's one of the best bits of kit I have ever bought ( apart from me leatherman )
